Roger Federer was the defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Robin Söderling, which allowed him to make a second-successive final here. This was the first time since the 2004 French Open that Federer did not reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament.[1][2]

Rafael Nadal won his fifth French Open title by defeating Robin Söderling 6–4, 6–2, 6–4.[3] Nadal made the entire grand slam tournament without dropping a set, the second time he had achieved this.
